Xcode 8 - Missing Files warnings


This is just an Xcode bug. If you delete or rename a file without then doing a commit, Xcode sees the discrepancy between the previous git commit and the current state of things and reports these warnings. They go away as soon as you do a git add that includes the file deletion / rename.


If you don't use Xcode source control but some other git client (like source tree or terminal), you can disable source control in Xcode and then the warnings will disappear.

Xcode > Preferences > Source control and uncheck "Enable source control"


I tried all of these (and many others) but none of them worked. After hours of trying various fixes, I found that the following procedure worked.

cd "project directory"git add .

You will need to close XCode and reopen or future Commits may fail.

Hope this helps someone.
